I went to the track Wed night. I had put a new cam from cam motion 216 @ 50, and 531lift. I guess it was better. I ran a slew of 12.20s at 110 on street tires. 1.6 60fts even a 1.61. Well the 7th pass, I was warming the tires, 2nd gear at 5500. Then a shotgun like blast BOOM! steam came out of the hood and the starter came running and the red lights started flashing on the tree.
I now have the car home. It appears that the crank is broken. I will pull it down Sat. I hope that my heads are still good, but I will be ordering a 408 motor real soon.
